So often I want to get ahead of God... to be out there doing something that looks great and wonderful to me. But I am constantly reminded that the best place to be is sitting quietly at his feet observing what he is doing, listening to what he has to say.
Just as Elijah experienced, the Lord was not in the wind. The Lord was not in the earthquake. The Lord was not in the fire. The Lord was in a gentle whisper.
Lord, help me to stay so close to you that I can hear your gentlest whisper. Give me a singleness of heart that causes me to recognize every opportunity you have for me to share your love and grace with others. Make my heart and intentions pure so that my life will bring glory to your name.
Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace. If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is. - Amy Charmichael
